    Current TV cable deal in jeopardy over low ratings
    By David Ferguson - RawStory

    <snip>

    Current TV, the progressive public affairs network founded by former Vice President Al Gore and business partner Joel Hyatt, is in crisis and may lose an important cable deal over low ratings, according to an article posted by the news agency Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...83404P20120405

    In the wake of firing of its most popular host, the infamously volatile Keith Olbermann, the network faces serious questions about its long term viability. Time Warner Cable, one of the major cable providers that carries the network, has benchmarks in place for the network’s overall performance.

    According to contractual stipulations, if Current fails to meet a minimum number of quarterly viewers, the network faces financial penalties in the next quarter. If Current TV fails to meet the minimum threshold of viewers for two quarters running, Time Warner has the option of dropping it.

    Of the 60,000 homes currently receiving Current TV as part of their cable packages, 12,000 are subscribers to Time Warner, a fifth of Current TV’s total reach. The decision could prove to be a mortal blow to the network, which has struggled to find its audience since its inception in 2005.

    <And...>

    No parties interviewed by Reuters were willing to specify the exact numbers of viewers necessary to meet Time Warner’s quota to keep Current TV. A network representative told the news agency, “We are fully in compliance with our Time Warner Cable contract and all indications show that even with Keith leaving we will continue to be in compliance.”

    Time Warner Cable declined to comment on the matter.

    With 31 operating divisions operating in 28 states i'm surprised TWC would even mess with a channel with only 12K subscribers.

    It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

    What does The Weather Channel have to do with this? Are they apart of the conspiracy? And why hasn't Rove been arrested yet? It's been 48 working hours already..

    I dunno what The Weather channel has to do with any thing other than they probably have more subscribers that Current TV. TWC (Time Warner Cable Inc) has 12.1 million subscribers per earnings reports on Friday March 30,2012. They lost 129,000 video subscribers that quarter.

    We could say they are spending like drunken sailors. That would be unfair to drunken sailors, they're spending their OWN money.

    Look, CTV sucks, just like Air America sucked.

    Time Warner isn't going to throw money down a sink hole week after week just to make a bunch Moonbats who don't understand the basics of econmics to begin with happy.

    The American people don't want Moonbats screeching at them 24/7 that America sucks and should be burned to the ground. It didn't work on Air America, it ain't going to work now.

    But of course the Moonbats are too crazy/stupid to understand that.
